FAQs
What should I know about booking an appointment?
An appointment at Georgette offers a modern and exclusive shopping experience, allowing you and your entourage of up to four people to have the entire shop to yourselves. For a small fee of $50, you can enjoy 90 minutes of intimate shopping with dedicated one-on-one attention from a consultant. This fee not only grants you access to the store but also acts as a deposit towards any purchase you make. As you browse through the selections, you can indulge in complimentary bubbly and savor coffee sourced from Clear Lake's local coffee bar, Livonia's. This personalized shopping experience ensures a memorable visit where your preferences and needs are the top priority.
